Abstract
Disclosed is a neurostimulation system comprising: a neuromodulation device for controllably delivering neural stimuli; a headset configured to be worn by the patient and to display images of a virtual object to the patient; one or more sensors configured to perceive a gesture of the patient; and an external computing device. The neuromodulation device comprises: a plurality of implantable electrodes; a stimulus source configured to deliver neural stimuli via selected ones of the implantable electrodes to a neural pathway of a patient; and a control unit configured to control the stimulus source to deliver each neural stimulus according to one or more stimulus parameters. The external computing device comprises a processor in communication with the neuromodulation device, the headset, and the one or more sensors. The processor is configured to: instruct the control unit to control the stimulus source to deliver neural stimuli according to the one or more stimulus parameters; render a virtual object to images for display to the patient via the headset; receive information indicative of a gesture of the patient from the sensors; and convert the gesture to a manipulation of the virtual object. A posture of the patient may be detected and posture-dependent patient characteristics may be associated with the currently detected posture. The VR/AR environment may prompt the patient to assume a posture, so that currently estimated patient characteristics that are posture-dependent may be associated with the currently prompted posture.
